This leaves them little time to get an education or earn an income, locking them into a cycle of poverty.
Walk In Her Shoes is a global movement mobilizing thousands of CARE supporters around the world (including Canada, the UK, the USA and Australia) to walk in solidarity with women and girls in the developing world. It’s a personal challenge to walk 10,000 steps while collecting pledges and raising awareness of CARE’s vital work around the world.
Our vision this year is to engage the women’s groups in BC to walk together at the Walk In Her Shoes Challenge to show our support for International Women’s Day.

Failure is the airbag we never want to deploy on our road to success. However, as Financial Times columnist Tim Harford writes, “Success comes through rapidly fixing our mistakes rather than getting things right first time.” Speakers will share stories of professional failure, why those moments were crucial, how they handled the lows and turned them into highs. Exploring the flip side of success, guests will learn ways to prepare for, deal with and adapt from professional mistakes to ultimately come back with a better approach.

“I have never, ever, ever met a highly confident and successful person who is not what a movie would call a ‘workaholic.’ We can’t have it both ways,” says Mindy Kaling in her book Why Not Me?
We want success, for our professional accomplishments to be celebrated, yet often feel guilty about the “workaholic” lifestyle choices that get us to those milestones. Speakers will share times when they needed to step away from personal, family or work commitments, then discuss strategies for weighing each decision and dealing with any internal- or external-based feelings of guilt that arise. Guests will walk away equipped with the tools to navigate sacrifice in all spheres of life.

Widely reported as the case in previous studies, Carleton University Centre for Women in Politics and Public Leadership, in partnership with the Beacon Agency and BMO, has undertaken ground breaking research which busts this myth and shows that women just approach risk in a different, more holistic way than men.
A Force to Reckon With, Women Entrepreneurship and Risk is the result of this study, which considers literature, along with the results of interviews with over 100 entrepreneurs across Canada from all sectors and stages from start-ups to multi-million dollar enterprises.

Your authenticity, values, goals, dreams and drive are made known. And, ultimately, you are able to achieve monumental things. But, are you raising your voice to the level of your full potential?
At the 2016 Leadership Summit, Top 100 Award Winners and other industry leaders will show you how to use your voice to deliver authentic leadership, engage in powerful conversations, communicate vision and rally others around you. They will share practical ways that technology can amplify the message and strategies to use your voice to empower the voiceless.

UN Women are collaborating with Canadian leaders to present an internationally spectacular event and fundraiser for Child Brides. This glamorous global event will give you the chance to help this plight by proclaiming that you are determined to help put an end to the atrocity and your ticket purchase will reflect your committment. The evening will be filled with entertainment, live music, poignant moments when we focus on the matter at hand through the words of victims, United Nations Diplomats, and Canadian Leaders, You will have the chance to mingle with high-profile guests, and swoon over a special surprise from famed Italian goldsmith and businessman, Gerardo Sacco,trusted jewellery designer to Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, and Lady Di. Celebrity chef Mark Brand will serve a Mediterranean feast and Wine is included. Gold level sponsors are invited to a special VIP wine tasting and reception at 4pm prior to the event so that they can have a moment with the celebrities, leaders, and diplomats along with press and photo ops.
Why this event?
Each year, 15 million girls are married before the age of 18. That is one every two seconds. There is growing recognition that forced child marriage is a human rights violation and a severe impediment to social and economic development. This is not just an international crisis; it’s a North American issue as well. Although Canada currently has no domestic legislation specific to child marriage, various provisions in family, immigration and criminal laws do address marriage without consent. Families also still send children elsewhere to marry at even younger ages. In the United States, it was revealed in a February 2017 report that over 248,000 children had been married between 2000 and 2010, mostly to adult men. Several states – including Massachusetts – allow children to get married as young as 12 or 13 ‘in exceptional circumstances.’ What is the goal? There are lawyers currently working pro bono in North America and in developing countries to close the loopholes that subject millions of children to lives of forced marriage and statutory rape. It will require ample funding to provide resources for the children, once the marriages are annulled, to transition into a healthy and self-sustainable life, including education, job skills, medical care, and emotional support.
We hope to secure your support for this incredible event where we will be showcasing Canada to a Global Community while both educating and fundraising for large scale change.

While traditionally the role of the HR Representative, in an era where nothing is secret anymore, CSR policies that are not being practiced properly or at all are scrutinized by both employees and customers, resulting in bad PR. Sandra Nomoto of Conscious PR shares how companies must not only learn what CSR is, but also what their values are and how they are going to implement them & eventually create impact in the communities they serve.

Today it represents an opportunity for Canadians to reflect on actions to end violence against women, especially the most vulnerable in our society.
The UWCV has long advocated for action to address sexual exploitation including prostitution which is a form of gender-based violence. Join us for a conversation with special guest Sgt. Kristi Kurtz from the RCMP’s Missing Persons Centre whose experience dealing with cases of trafficking and the sexual abuse of young girls will help us develop answers for how best to stop this type of human rights violation.
This event is a fundraiser for our CFUW L’ecole Polytechnique Commemorative Award. $20 of the ticketed price will be donated and tax receipts will be issued.

You know when you reach the end of your day and you feel like that day just ‘happened’ to you? Most of us go through our day without consciously thinking as to what we would like to receive from our day. Deliberate intention setting can make all the difference in your day and ultimately in achieving your goals and dreams.
Let’s face it, when it comes to resolutions, most of us bend/break them within a few weeks. Intentions are not those “do or die” resolutions or goals; they focus on the big picture. Don’t set yourself up for failure by making super specific resolutions, instead, make your intentions part of an overall mindset.
Would you like to learn how to set powerful intentions? And then transfer those intentions to a vision board to remind you thoughout the year? Everything that happens in our world starts with our intention. It’s the creative power put forth by you that fulfills your desires in every area of your life, including money, relationship, spirituality and love. We really DO have more control over our destiny than we might think.
Join us as we learn how to set powerful intentions and create our vision for 2018.

Privacy is all around us. What does Yahoo, Equifax and Heathrow Airport have in common? They could have managed privacy a bit better. Did you know that the cost of a data breach in Canada was $278 per record in 2016? Are you aware that there has been a 2,500% increase in sales of ransomware just in 2017?
In a hyper connected world where data insight gives organizations a competitive edge, the risks of managing and safeguarding that data – specifically personal data – have increased exponentially. How then, as business management professionals, can we influence the importance of privacy and security management while at the same time we become enablers of innovative business models?
Join us for this event where we will explore the opportunities that lie ahead in terms of increasing trust, reputation and brand exposure through the compliant management of Private information.

Last year, ‘feminism’ was declared Word of the Year by Merriam-Webster. And this year, the Canadian theme for IWD is #MyFeminism. Our panelists will explore this hot topic in an accessible dialogue that will educate and inspire you to take action.
Fiona Macfarlane is EY’s Chief Inclusiveness Officer, an external role where she spreads the message about how diversity and inclusion in the workforce are important for the health of all businesses. Jill Earthy and Lois Nahirney are two advocates who have tirelessly led the WE FOR SHE movement in BC since it started in 2014.
You’ll learn the four P’s of parity so you can improve your own community:
Problem – The gender gap and some stats that may surprise you
Progress – Our achievements in BC as a leader in gender equality
Plan – Actions you can take in your own life, business and community
Praise – Examples of successful diversity programs and what you can learn from them

As the experts on the people side of the business, HR can be an excellent tool to help you advance your career. The key is understanding when and how to use this relationship to your advantage. Employee relationships with HR can be complex. In theory, they’re there to help your company get as much potential out of its people as possible (which is amazing for you), but they also have a strong incentive to protect the company’s bottom line an interests (which may not always be amazing for you). So how do you tell when (and how) to use your HR department to your advantage, and when to rely on other avenues?
This talk will focus on giving you an insider look into how HR works. We’ll cover:
What the heck does HR do?
What are HR’s Priorities?
Assessing your HR culture
The myth of confidentiality
The goal of this talk is to help give you the tools to partner with HR to create the outcomes you’re looking for in your career.
This workshop is facilitated by Martha Carscadden, an HR Manager at Vancouver’s own ACL Services.

Dr. Valerie Young (impostersyndrome.com) will be joining us for an interactive workshop on how to deal with Imposter Syndrome and we’ll take some time to mingle and network as well.
So, you may be asking, what’s imposter syndrome and do I have it?
Here’s the Imposter Syndrome Quiz from impostersyndrome.com:
Do you chalk your success up to luck, timing, or computer error?
Do you believe “If I can do it, anybody can”?
Do you agonize over even the smallest flaws in your work?
Are you crushed by even constructive criticism, seeing it as evidence of your “ineptness?”
When you do succeed, do you secretly feel like you fooled them again?
Do you worry that it’s just a matter of time before you’re “found out?”
If so join the club!
Millions of people around the world from CEOs to Ph.D.s, to Academy Award Winning actors secretly believe they’re not as bright or capable as everyone “thinks” they are. It’s called the impostor syndrome — or the impostor phenomenon as it is more accurately known in the world of psychology.
At this event, Valerie will help us all get a handle on these tricky thoughts that get in the way of enjoying our successes!

Research shows that women are held to higher standards in their work leading up to promotions. While career progression requires high-quality work, the stringent standards women must meet to be considered for promotion can lead to perfectionist behaviour. This very behaviour is then often identified as showing lack of leadership acumen, creating a career-stalling catch-22 for ambitious women.
This talk aims to give women a look at how their working lives are affected by the complex forces surrounding promotions, quality work, perfectionism, and risk. We’ll cover:
What perfectionism is & how it shows up in your work
The relationship between risk, perfectionism & gender
How ambitious women subtly undermine their own career progress
What’s really at play when our careers stall — and what to do next
The goal of this talk is to help you get at the deeper reasons for your career-limiting behaviours so you can keep your career moving forward.
About our speaker, Holly Burton:
Holly is a leadership coach for women in male-dominated industries. She works one-on-one with ambitious women to help them lead, get promoted, and create the careers they actually want in industries they love.
As a mining engineer for the first ten years of her career, Holly was exposed to one of the most male-dominated spaces — just 17% female. She uses the unique perspective she gained as a woman in mining, alongside her obsessive nerdiness for all things feminism, leadership, and career to help women create the working world they deserve while they wait for the rest of society to catch up.

When leaders are left to toil over technical fixes searching for answers that aren’t readily available, the management of an organization’s environment can suffer. Adaptive Leadership is about taking a step back from the surface problems to define underlying values, diagnose competing perspectives, and unpack systemic underlying issues.
In this interactive session, Adel Gamar from the Sauder School of Business will uncover how adaptive leadership can help individuals and organizations learn anew and thrive in competitive professional environments.
The Adaptive Leadership framework is a practical toolkit that helps leaders and organizations adapt and thrive in complex environments. At its core, the framework assists in providing leaders the insights and resilience to become more effective leaders by engaging others in challenging work, particularly when facing complex systemic problems. It builds capacity within organizations by looking beyond technical challenges — asking deeper questions and mobilizing people to do adaptive work.
Join us to discuss the premise that leadership is an activity, not a person, and that leadership can be exercised by anyone, whatever their role inside or outside of an organization.
About our speaker, Adel Gamar:
In conjunction with UBC’s Sauder School of Business, the Professional Women’s Network is pleased to welcome Adel Gamar as our next speaker. Adel is CEO and cofounder of Gamar Leadership Group Ltd., a boutique firm that specializes in adaptive leadership, strategy and change management. For the past 15 years, Adel has advised and coached senior leaders of Fortune 500 companies, higher education, nonprofit organizations and governments throughout the world. He served as Education Specialist at UNESCO and Policy Fellow at Harvard Law School. While at Harvard, Adel taught adaptive leadership and co-facilitated the Think Tank on Global Education: Empowering Global Citizens. He serves on the Douglas College Board of Governors and the Coquitlam Foundation Board of Directors.
A native of Metro Vancouver, Adel holds an MPA from the Harvard Kennedy School of Business and a B.Ed. from the University of Calgary.

Every action a person takes, every conversation they have moves them ahead as a leader. In this workshop, participants will learn about their unique leadership style and learn how to improve on the strengths they already have—even if they don’t think they’re a leader! Leadership is much more than a “to-do” list; effective leadership is an art and a science and, most importantly, it can be learned. It can be improved through skills, practice and self-knowledge.
At the end of the workshop, participants will have their unique answers to these questions:
What are the strengths and weaknesses of my communication style?
How do I manage change, transition and transformation in my business? In my life?
What are my core values and how do they show up when I’m leading?
Where can I find the courage and support to develop as a leader?

Here’s the deal – if you have a brain, you have unconscious bias. And that bias can be a stumbling block to being an inclusive leader, because it causes you to make assumptions and jump to conclusions without thinking.
The good news is, you can help your mind make better decisions by being mindful of the symbols, role models and language you choose every day. In this session, you’ll learn how to recognize and overcome your own “unconscious bias” so you can embrace diversity to grow your business.
By the end of this session you will:
Understand what unconscious bias is and how it shows up in your daily life to influence your behaviour
Recognize the importance of resisting and overcoming unconscious bias to create an environment that is innovative and productive
Learn key behaviours of inclusive leaders and commit to your own action plan for change

Canada has been embarking on a reconciliation journey for several years now with varying success. Chastity Davis, our special guest speaker and one of the co-founders and co-chairs of the Professional Aboriginal Women’s Network, believes it will be the women that lead the reconciliation movement in Canada. Chastity will speak to the importance of both Indigenous women’s leadership and ally-ship.
Please join us for this special joint meeting of the Professional Women’s Network and the Professional Aboriginal Women’s Network to kick off our 2018/2019 season.
All proceeds from this special event will be donated to the Michelle Pockey Leadership Award. Michelle founded the PWN twenty years ago and co-founded the PAWN shortly before her passing from cancer in 2016. Michelle was a prominent lawyer and community activist who dedicated herself to making a positive difference in the world – from energy, mining, environmental and Indigenous issues to increasing the economic success and impact of women. Michelle worked tirelessly for 20 years advancing women in business, law, First Nations and no-traditional sectors.
To help support Michelle’s legacy and advance other women along their leadership journeys, Business in Vancouver and Minerva BC have partnered to recognize this exceptional female leader through the creation of the Michelle Pockey Leadership Award. This Award will give first priority to Indigenous women and single parents, and second priority to women pursuing law, justice, Indigenous or environmental studies. The Award is intended to support the successful nominee’s tuition, housing or childcare in the pursuit of post-secondary education or entrepreneurship.

When a business owner is asked about their marketing strategy, too many think about direct mail campaigns, newspaper ads or word of mouth. All those things are a part of marketing, but they are not strategy. They are tactics. Tactics are only as effective as the strategy behind them—the WHY of marketing. This practical workshop guides the business owner through the process of building a sound marketing strategy for their business to reveal the tactics that make the most sense for their motivation, market and money.
